The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 

Grannie Anita had always been a stone-cold statue when it came to Anastasia. Her disapproval was always apparent. But today, there was a marked difference in her demeanor. Not only was she acknowledging Anastasia, she was also showing genuine 

concern. 

Herman and Anastasia exchanged a knowing glance. Herman, with a warm smile, guided 

Anastasia to her seat. 

Katelyn, visibly ecstatic, chimed in, “I’ve specially prepared a delicious chicken soup for you, Ana. I’ll go fetch it.” 

Flynn, sitting opposite Herman, chuckled, “Bro, you have no idea. Before you two got home, Grannie has mentioned several times how eager she is for a great-grandchild.” 

Grannie Anita, feigning embarrassment, lightly tapped Flynn with her walking stick and shot him a stern look. “Can’t you keep your mouth shut for once?” 

Flynn laughed heartily, “Look, Grannie is shy.” 

Grannie Anita turned to Anastasia and asked, “When was your last prenatal check-up? What did the doctor say? Boy or girl?” 

“Just the day before yesterday. Everything is normal,” Anastasia responded earnestly. “We didn’t check the gender.” 

Herman added, “It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl.” 

Grannie Anita nodded in agreement. Her previous preference for boys was now absent. “Herman, this is your first child. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s all the same. I was just asking. As long as the baby’s healthy, that’s good. Anastasia, eat up. Pregnant women are prone to low blood sugar. Don’t starve yourself.” 

“Thank you, Grannie,” Anastasia sighed in relief. 

Anastasia realized that Grannie Anita’s change in attitude was due to familial bonds. The old lady’s stubbornness was a manifestation of her love, and so was her letting go of prejudice. 

Katelyn presented the chicken soup. “Ana, have a taste.” 

“Mom, only Ana gets it?” Flynn joked, “Looks like Herman and I are out of favor.” 

Katelyn rolled her eyes at Flynn. “You’re a grown man. Why do you need chicken soup? If you want it, bring me a daughter-in-law.” 

Flynn, holding a plate of pasta, retorted, “I’ll stick with my pasta then.” 

Katelyn laughed, “You’re hopeless.”

Chapter 416 

The atmosphere during the meal was amicable, and Anastasia felt no pressure. She leaned towards Herman and whispered, “Where’s your Dad?” 

Just as she finished her sentence, Feiman’s voice echoed from outside, “Herman, Ana, you’re here.” 

Feiman, beaming from ear to ear, held a bouquet of flowers as he walked towards Katelyn. “For you, darling.” 

Katelyn’s smile faded at Feiman’s appearance. “Find a vase yourself,” she said. Her tone was neither cold nor warm. She showed no intention of accepting the flowers. 

Ever since Katelyn found out about Feiman’s illegitimate child, she had been giving him the cold shoulder. Despite his numerous attempts to mend their relationship, nothing seemed to work. 

Katelyn neither cried nor yelled. She simply ignored Feiman, treating him as if he didn’t exist. This was far more torturous for him. 

Feiman seemed to have grown accustomed to the cold treatment. A hint of disappointment flashed across his face before he sat down to eat. 

Grannie Anita glanced at Feiman and muttered, “Hopeless.” 

Feiman said nothing to defend himself.
